Classroom Of The Elite Year 2 Volume 9

Part 3

This Special Test and Horikita's victory over Sakayanagi would soon become a major topic of discussion.

Even though it was not a purely academic contest, but one that included an element of inferior students in the OAA overthrowing their superiors, the fact remains that we won a direct confrontation.

The gap between the Sakayanagi and Horikita classes was reduced by 100 points before the final test.

On the other hand, the Ryuuen Class had a tough time.

They tried to disrupt the competition since they could not win by Academic Learning, but Ichinose calmly accepted the situation and firmly got the win.

She looked mentally unstable, considering her resigning from the Student Council as well, but she did not break.

Still, I can't say that Ryuuen's judgement was wrong.

Unlike Horikita who had built up a solid foundation, the Ryuuen class was lacking in this aspect and it would have been difficult for them to catch up after a short period of studying.

After gaining this difficult victory, Ichinose Class still has a chance of making it to A Class, and the battle between the four classes will be carried over to the third term and beyond.

When I put on my shoes at the entrance and walked out of the school building, I already had someone waiting for me.

"I'm sorry for troubling you on the last day of school."

The person who contacted me directly after the results were announced. Sakayanagi from year-two Class A.

"I didn't hear that Ichinose would be coming too."

I didn't think that the two people who messaged me would be in the same place.

"What is going on here, Sakayanagi-san?"

It seems that Ichinose hadn't been told about me either, and had a curious expression.

"Let's walk for a while, we'll stand out if we stay here."

There will be a lot of students passing by the entrance here.

"First, Ayanokoji-kun. Congratulations on your win in this Special Test."

"Thanks, but we barely made it. We would have lost if it was a normal written test."

"Are you talking about the percentage of correct answers? That's another matter. There's no changing the fact that I lost, so."

She wasn't being modest, but rather she earnestly accepted the results of having done everything she could have done. I can see the leeway of A Class here.

"And it was very impressive how you defeated Ryuuen-kun, Ichinose-san."

"We just did what we should have done. I didn't do anything special."

"I was impressed by the fact that you did not yield to Ryuuen-kun and the others. To be honest, in my initial estimation, I thought it was 50-50. However, you actually ended up winning an overwhelming victory. It's probably a result of the leader calmly giving precise instructions."

Sakayanagi also seems to have read that Ichinose was fighting in a very focused manner.

She evaluated the win as not one brought just by the difference in Academic Learning, but also by her calm demeanour.

"Really? Well, I am happy to be complimented by you, Sakayanagi-san."

"You've become very positive, Ichinose-san. I think that something happened to you recently."
